Working for the Few Political Capture and Economic Inequality Authors: Ricardo Fuentes-Nieva and Nicholas Galasso Almost half of the world’s wealth is now owned by just one percent of the population, and seven out of ten people live in countries where economic inequality has increased in the last 30 years. The World Economic Forum has identified economic inequality as a major risk to human progress, impacting social stability within countries and threatening security on a global scale. In this paper, Oxfam shows how extreme inequality is not inevitable, with examples of policies from around the world which have reduced inequality and developed more representative politics, benefiting all, both rich and poor. Learning, Capability Building and Innovation for Development. Edited by Gabriela Dutrenit, Keun Lee, Richard Nelson, Luc Soete and Alexandra Vera-Cruz EADI in partnership with Palgrave Macmillan in late 2013, launched in this first book from the EADI Global Development Series. This initial volume presents excellent and timely contributions from a global cast of academics and policy makers examining economic development as a process of learning and technological accumulation, showing how economic development is a process involving creative destruction.

Sciences Po-CERI: dossier « Les gaz de schiste, une énergie controversée »

Coordonné par François Gemenne

Le gaz de schiste peut-il entraîner une révolution énergétique ? Depuis ses débuts aux Etats-Unis dans les années 1970, l’extraction de ce gaz naturel donne lieu à de nombreuses controverses, notamment en raison des impacts des forages sur l’environnement. Alors que la Commission européenne a donné en janvier 2014 un timide feu vert à l’exploitation de ce gaz sur le sol européen, la France continue de refuser les permis de recherche, et donc l’exploitation de ce gaz sur le sol français. Ce Dossier du CERI tente de déchiffrer les enjeux de l’exploitation du gaz de schiste, et les raisons de la controverse.

Comme vient le rappeler opportunément *Devenir chercheur <http://editions.ehess.fr/ouvrages/ouvrage/devenir-chercheur/>*, un ouvrage
récemment publié sous la direction de deux doctorants de l’EHESS, M. Hunsmann et S. Kapp, la maîtrise des techniques d’écriture est un point de
passage obligé dans l’apprentissage des << ficelles >> du métier de chercheur(e) en sciences sociales. Pour leur troisième édition, Les
dossiers de l’EHESS ont souhaité réunir des textes et des documents qui posent la question de la spécificité de l’écriture des sciences sociales ou
qui dispensent des conseils d’écriture et de publication à destination des doctorants et des jeunes chercheurs.
